Cross Country
The St Carthage's Cross Country will be held on Thursday 6th March at the St Carthage's Ovals and adjacent fields of the Lismore Rugby Club. This is a school event for all students from Kindergarten to Year 6. All students are expected to attend the cross country. Students are welcome to run, jog or walk. It is important that they participate at a level that they are comfortable with. If they are unable to participate for a medical reason, please write a note to your child's classroom teacher and they can support and encourage their peers from the start line. Students will attend the cross country for their event and return to school once they have finished. Parents and family members are welcome to come and support our students throughout the morning.
Please note:

- The top 5 students in each race will be invited to attend the Richmond Zone Cross Country on Friday 28th March, 2025.
- Year 2 students who are turning 7 this year (2018) will participate in the cross country with their Year 2 cohort (8 years) but are not eligible to attend the Dio Zone Cross Country.
